Spoon Juice is a beautiful iPhone developer website with a dark background containing a subtle spectrum, nice glowing typography and great icon design.
The animations on the main slider are also really excellent. Each panel expands as you click on it and the icon within enlarges with a smooth effect.

This site features the heavy use of black and gray to attempt to create a classy look and feel.
The result is an absolutely beautiful page with tons of visual interest in the form of subtle gradients and simple icons.
Excellent inspiration for anyone interested in using black in web design!

Heavy use of contrast, over-sized headline, and planetary graphic come together to make this design a winner.
Also, the font choices are just perfect to compliment the graphical style.

I have seen enough messy desk designs to last a lifetime but usually they are an overhead view.
This refreshing take on the idea utilizes a straight on view and shows tons of attention to detail.
The artwork is really beautiful on the home page and continues throughout the various pages.

This site is wonderfully dark with neat lighting effects that really add to the dramatic feeling.
This aesthetic really showcases the artwork well in conjunction with a nice 3D effect.
The typography is really nice and original as well and utilizes cufon to bring in custom fonts.

This site features an strongly textured background and muted content and a perfect color scheme.
All of this lends to the faded look that the designer is going for. As you hover over the images, their opacity slowly transitions to 100%.

This is the online portfolio of web designer Blake Allen.
This site design is all about one thing: typography. It is the primary, and nearly the only, design element on the home page.
The simple, Helvetica-centric page uses high contrast black and white content and varying font sizes to distinguish content into a clear visual hierarchy.

This design features a large slideshow as the primary visual. The bright colors stand out really well against the muted gray background.
Notice that the little text above the slideshow has a letterpress effect but still remains live. An excellent use of CSS to create traditional Photoshop text effects.
